recovery procedure from a hysterectomy - Part 1
OK I'm going to write down my hysterectomy experience, but I'm not going to bore you with too many words so I will try to write down what happened to me day by day and in bullet point form,
here we go:
Something not quite right
My history – part of my cervix removed in 2004 taken as a precautionary measure, I had some cells that were in the very early stages of cancer.
Late 2008 thought I was just constipated and started to notice that my belly felt bloated, it was my husband that pointed out that something wasn't quite right. He said that he felt a hard lump down one side of my abdomen I had to finally agree.
Doctors appointment – 19 Nov 2008- Doctor examined me and told me I was pregnant! Now considering that my husband has been sterilised the diagnosis was a shock I didn't know to laugh or cry. Doctor said that I needed a scan to confirm. On leaving the doctors I went straight to the chemist and bought a pregnancy testing kit. My husband was with me and our conversation went along the lines of: you you cant be pregnant, if I am pregnant do we keep it, we cant afford to have another baby, can we go through this again? Thankfully the results were negative!
Scan date 12 Dec 2008-While having the scan I told the nurse the story about the doctor telling me I was pregnant. She confirmed that I wasn't. I asked her did she know what the problem was she said that she wasn't allowed to discuss her findings, but because she saw that I was upset she told me. She said that she was 99% sure that I had a fibroid and that it was very big, hence why the doctor thought I was pregnant.
Doctor confirmed results 2 Jan 2009- Doctor confirmed that I had a fibroid he told me that surgeon would contact me to discuss whatever procedure I needed .
Hospital confirmed appoint with Surgeon for the 8th January............to be continued
